Uncle David's Visit


Mark's brother David spent his spring break with us last week. He's playing trumpet up at Snow College and came down to sunny Arizona to get away from the cold.

David will be doing a service mission for our church this summer in Nauvoo. He'll be playing trumpet in a brass band as part of the historical festivities that they do over there (I've never been, but maybe this summer is the time to go!). When he finishes there, he'll serve a two year full-time mission somewhere else (we don't know yet). So, we may or may not see him for 2.5 years. We're really glad he came to visit and took a lot of photos while he was here.

Here are some photos from the visit. We went to the zoo, Amazing Jakes, and the park (where Jaxon and David both rode scooters down a concrete hill and got scraped up). There are even a few photos of Mark and David's grandpa Barney who came to visit from San Diego for a few hours.

As you browse the photos, notice the number of times you see David texting. He and his friend Megan spent a lot of time conversing via text. It was to the point where he would check and respond in the middle of conversations, Wii games, you name it. So, imagine my amusement at this conversation.

Me: "So, Dave, is Megan your girlfriend?"
Dave: "No, we're just friends. I'm going on a mission and don't want to get too attached."
Me: "Attached? You text her every 3.5 seconds! I don't know how you could get MORE attached!"

*full disclosure (I am now friends with Megan on Facebook. I like her, she seems nice.)
